WASHINGTON. Jan. 4. (AP)
-Tti $324,000,000 naval appro
priation bill began its passage
through the house today with
shoals in view ahead and the
barometer hovering at the storm
levvl.
Ct-noral debate on the measure
rpntered about contentions, that
the Washington arms conference
had proved a "dismal failure"
which should no longer be em
ployed1 as a guide in navy build
ing, and that President Coolidge's
foreign policy should not be sup
ported at the coat of a weakened
naval defense. v
As debate progressed a,., widen
ing' tendency appeared among
member to disregard the presi
dent's adHce to forego for the
present an appropriation for con
structing threeXruier whose" au
thorization will elpeire'neit- July
unless funds are provided mean
while. . N
The tendency took definite form
in a private, announcement by
Representative Tilson, the repub
lican leader, that he was -considering
an amendment tov provide con
struction" founds Immediately. lie
i id he had diseussed the ques
witn Mr. CooUdge and that
te president's attitude that the
cruiser-construction should be de
layed pending possible further in
national15 disarmament conferences
was unchanged, . ; '-,:;.. !
Representative French, republi
can, Idaho, in charge "of .the bill,
pointed to -the president's wish
but the .recommendation found
little support on the floor. Reply
ing to Mr. French's argument that
the house should follow the judg
ment of the "chief executive who
is responsible for our foreign re
lationship," Representative Black,

that "We cannot saddle the re-

favoring passage of a bill at the

ir.j? he minimum annual salary
o: these officials at $2,000. Sal
aries in excess of f2,000 would be
bused on school enrollment.
.The salary bill will be prepared
b Fred Peterson, superintendent
of schools for Klamath county.
It was argued that the present
.schedule of salaries" is unfair in
that one official receives only $400
a year and conducts his office as
a side issue. Mdst of the super
nuendents receive from $1500 to
SlhOO a year.
The superintendents also voted
in favor of shifting the meeting
of the representative council of
i!h State Teachers' association
tonvention in Portland from the
first to the third day, of the ses

submitted to the county superin

loans to war veterans on their

went out to the bankers of the

At the same time Mrs. Edith

"We appeal to you as the head

your members, among others, were

Taylor, in his message, said that
"reports from all parts of the
country show that comparatively
few loans are being granted by
banks on adjusted service certifi
cates and that in many instances,
banks are refusing these loans al
together. "Under the law," the telegram
continued, "there is more than
ample money in the treasury to
protect loans on certificates, the

"The federal reserve banks are
required, under the law to re

Recommend Special Tax Drafted
By Special Reforestation
Commission
The State Board of Forestry
tiedinto the reforestation question
at their all-day meeting here yes
terday and also adopted proposals
that they claim are needed to put
ribs into the forest laws of the
state.
The Tegular members of the
board were present except C. E.
Spence, representing the farmers
on the board, said to be ill, and
D. F. Johnson of Wallowa, repre
senting forest grazing interests.
In addition the board had the ex
pert advice of Tom Talbot of the
United States forest service.' Tal
bot is an expert on law enforce
ment. Since the government relies
on state laws the service is thor
oughly interested in Oregon's for
est code.
The board agreed to recommend
fhe special tax law drafted for the
reforestation commission appoint
ed by the president of the senate
and the speaker of the house at
the laSt legislature.
This law would immediately put
into effect a flat guaranteed tax
of five cents an acre on all classes
of timber land whether rich or
poor. In addition timber land
owners would pay a gross revenue
yield tax "of 12 per cent when
they cut their crop.
No contracts would be entered
into under this law until 1929.
After that time timber land own
ers would contract with the state
to receive the benefits of the low
tax during growth of the timber.
The reason for delaying the issu
ance of contracts is to allow room
for ehangesin the proposed bill
after federal reforestation taxation
hearings now going on are con
cluded. The chairman of the board was
asked to communicate with Pro-

Cargo Ignited
FIRE APPARATUS CALLED
Captain Thrown to Floor by Ex

Orders Crew and Workmen
in Sight Overboard
BALTIMORE, Md- Jan. 4
(AP) Between eight and twelve
men were missing and 23 were
injured after an explosion late to
day which ignited a cargo of pitch
aboard the French barque Riche
lieu at a Baltimore and Ohio rail
road coal pier in Curtis bay. Five
of the missing and two of the in
jured were members of the ves
sel's crew. The others were for
the most part negro dock workers.
Six French naval cadets, attached
for training to the Richelieu, were
reported by Captain Jules Cornec,
the ship's master, to be safe. The
Richelieu carried, a crew of 4 6.
Paul, Maguerez, in charge of
workmen trimming pitch in num
ber 3 hatch, where the blast oc
curred, finished ivbrk and led 20
men from the hatchway a few
moments before flames leaped
from the opening. His crew was
at first believed to have been
trapped in the hold. The missing
men tonight were believed to be
somewhere in the ship's interior,
which was a seething mass of
flames.
All available fire apparatus and
ambulances were called from Bal
timore and private automobiles
were pressed into ambulance serv
ice. The Richelieu was a 3000 ton
four masted barque, 323 feet long
with beam of 27 feet. She docked
at Curtis bay from Brest last week
and was loading pitch for Lauri
ent, France.
The explosion occurred in hatch
No. 3 where workmen were trim
ming pitch. Captain Cornec said.
The captain was in his cabin di
rectly above the hatch and was
thrown to the floor by the blast.
He immediately dashed upon the
deck and ordered his crew and all
workmen in sight overboard. No
bodies had been taken from the
ship early in the evening, but
firemen were able to approach
the hatchway where the workmen
were believed to have been caught.
